Opening & Vented Roof Lanterns in Folkestone — common questions

How are opening lanterns controlled?

Your choice: a simple wall switch, a remote, app control, or full automation that opens on temperature and closes on rain. Most kitchens land on switch-plus-rain-sensor.

Does an opening pane compromise the lantern's weather seal?

Not in a quality system — the sash closes onto continuous gaskets and locks down tight. The vent panes carry the same glazing spec and guarantee as the fixed glass around them.

Are opening roof lanterns worth it?

Over kitchens and in south-facing rooms, emphatically yes — venting at the highest point purges heat and steam faster than any window can. In cooler, well-ventilated rooms a fixed lantern plus good doors often suffices.

What happens if it rains while the vent is open?

The rain sensor closes it automatically — it's a standard part of the package, not an optional extra, so an open vent and a surprise shower never meet.

Do you install in Folkestone?

Yes — installation is available across Folkestone and Kent, and if you'd rather buy supply-only, kerbside delivery to Folkestone is included in our standard service.
